Latvian Volunteers in the Spanish Civil War 51 LATVIAN VOLUNTEERS IN THE SPANISH CIVIL WAR Ignacio de la Torre MhBSRS Abstract The purpose of this article is to analyse the participation of Latvian volunteers in the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939). To examine this historical episode, diverse international archival sources have been processed, in order to produce a common narrative. This is a topic which had remained lost in the limbo of oblivion, however, on a documented basis is now possible to narrate the feats of the Latvian brigadistas1. While the authoritarian government of Latvia had declared itself neutral towards the Spanish conflict, it took place with the mobilisation of a particular generation made up of young men and women who understood this war as the beginning of an international struggle against Nazi-Fascist powers. These volunteers interpreted the war in Spain in a universal dimension – the Spanish Republican Army was assisted by volunteers from 54 nationalities out of the 56 recognised independent states of the time. Between 1936 and 1938, about 200 Latvians reached Spain and joined regular Republican military units: the International Brigades. They left their daily routines, families and homes in order to enlist in a foreign army to kill and die for. In Spain the Latvian volunteers distinguished themselves because of their idiomatic skills, medical knowledge and previous military experience (especially in the field of artillery). In numerical terms their participation was limited, but in percentage and narrative terms, their story is fascinating and illustrative. Volunteering for Spain was categorised as a serious felony by the Ulmanis regime. Taking sides in the Spanish Civil War was punished by the loss of citizenship penalty. Due to this fact, after Franco’s victory, a considerable number of the Latvian brigadistas ended up in French concentration camps until 1941. Not all the Latvian volunteers who fought for the Republican side served in the International Brigades. The Soviet Union was involved in the Spanish Civil War, and a whole intervention mission was launched under Stalin’s orders. Approximately, 2000 Soviet officers from different military fields, served in Spain as advisors, instructors or technicians. A considerable group of them were Latvians, who, by the way, experienced first-hand the horrors of the Great Purge. Despite being a tremendous and fascinating topic, the existing bibliography about it is very scarce. This study begins to fill this literature gap, joining together the existing materials, which combined with documentary sources allow one to make a social picture about the Latvians who volunteered for Spain in those uncertain times of the history in the late 1930’s. Keywords: Antifascism, Comintern, International Brigades, Latvian volunteers, Non- Intervention Pact, Second Spanish Republic, Soviet participation, Spanish Civil War 1 A member of the Spanish International Brigades (Brigadas Internacionales). 52 Humanities and Social Sciences: Latvia (Volume 24(1)) Introduction On Thursday, 8 May 1941, an enormous crowd was walking to Riga Central Station, in total expectation. The multitude was formed by a large group of men in long coats and hats, women carrying flowers and an orchestra. At last, more than 4 years after their departure, twelve Latvian brigadistas2 were about to arrive back in their homeland. Their way back home had been even more tortuous than their initial outbound journey. When the train arrived at the platform, the multitude welcomed the cīnītāji3 very warmly, as heroes. Several photographers immortalised the scene. After the hugs and greetings, some speeches were given. They commemorated “the struggle of the international working class in Spain” – a Latvian leftist newspaper stated4 – “workers, artists, scientists, revolutionaries, old and young men from all over the world, both communists as well as progressives, volunteered in order to help the Spanish people to fight for freedom”. This was a symbolic closure for the episode of the Latvian volunteers in the Spanish Civil War (SCW). The outbreak and dimensions of World War II in the Eastern front eclipsed it. However, after 1945, the Spanish Civil War began to be understood as the prelude for WWII. Actually, this consideration fitted very well in the Soviet narrative. The international mobilisation of volunteers for Spain developed into a prophylactic measure against fascism. During the next decades, the International brigadistas were included in the consecutive homages and cultural tribute in the whole Eastern Block, as a crucial part of the fight against Hitler. The few themed books published about the Latvian volunteers were fruit of it. By the time of the warmth of the Khrushchev Thaw, some themed works about the Latvians in Spain surfaced. The first of them was “Viva república!” (Riga, 1957), which is in fact, the first historical work on the SCW in the Latvian language. It was written by Rudolfs Lācis, who fought in Spain. The work provides us a general picture of the background and development of the conflict, with constant references to the Latvian volunteers. A second work was published under the title: “Latvijas cīnītāji Spānijā, 1936-1939: atminas un dokumenti” (Riga, 1966), firstly in Latvian and later a Russian translation was published. This work was published by the Institute of History of the Communist Party of Latvia, and it is mainly a memoirs compilation of several brigadistas. 2 Their identities were Gurēvičs, Spalāns, Lipkins, Broziņš, Pūce, Folmanis, Kadiķis, Cielēns, Beniķis, Donchins, Markovņiks and Rozenbergs. 3 “Fighters” in Latvian. 4 Jaunais Komunārs, Nr. 110 (09.05.1941), p. 1. Ignacio de la Torre. Latvian Volunteers in the Spanish Civil War 53 The flame of the Latvian brīvprātīgie5 extinguished concurrently as they died out. The leap into capitalism and the regaining of the national sovereignty entailed a full renunciation of the former Soviet cultural narratives, and with that the story of the Latvian brigadistas was lost. For almost 40 years the topic passed out of all knowledge, until the opening of the former Soviet and Spanish archives took place. Thanks to both political transitions, it is currently possible to build up a scientific historical story, based on the relevant primary evidence of the time. The Setting and Recruitment The late 1930s were a period of upheaval throughout Europe. Faith in democracy was already sinking to the bottom. Authoritarian and totalitarian regimes were proliferating in Europe since the March on Rome in 1922, but the main rise of authoritarianisms took place during the thirties. Democracy only survived in those countries with a longer democratic tradition, such as France, United Kingdom or the Nordic countries, but even in some of them, the breach of fascism took place as a political alternative. The dimensions of this division between democracy and tyranny were such that by the end of the decade only 12 countries out of the 29, that composed Europe, retained a democratic system. The Baltic States were not an exception. Almost two decades after gaining their independence as democratic republics, due to the unfavourable context conditioned by the political polarisation of Central and Eastern Europe, all three Baltic nations acquired authoritarian regimes. Paradoxically, democracy in Latvia came to the end by the hand of one of the political key figures in the creation of the Republic of Latvia, the first and former Prime Minister, Kārlis Ulmanis. He carried out a coup d’état in May, 1934 and introduced authoritarianism6 in Latvia. At the end of the day, the European balance was in danger since Hitler launched his aggressive campaigns. In order to avoid the participation of third countries in the Spanish 5 “Volunteers” in Latvian 6 Some authors, as George Von Rauch, have said that Latvia (like Estonia) was an “authoritarian democracy”. However, Ulmanis’ Latvia shared fascist features, as for instance: the chamber system in government, anti-Marxist speech and policies, ultranationalism, fascist aesthetics regarding uniforms and propaganda of the regime, cult of the personality of their leading figures, single ruling party. The control on education and press was also considerable. But unlike the best-known examples of authoritarianisms, the Baltic authoritarianisms did not practice a general or brutal violence policy against opposition and there was no physical elimination of political enemies, in any case there was a severe regime of censorship, political prosecution and imprisonment. Björn M. Felder and Paul J. Weindling (2013) have recently studied some of these aspects. 54 Humanities and Social Sciences: Latvia (Volume 24(1)) conflict and to keep the appeasement policy towards Germany (specially carried out mainly by United Kingdom), France proposed the creation of an international Non-Intervention Pact. Immediately several governments of Europe agreed this project and by 15 August 15, UK and France accepted to establish a committee. The decision was agreed by 27 European states, including Latvia. But it was never captured in a paper7. In February 1937 Ulmanis’ Latvia passed a national decree in order to ban the organisation and participation of national citizens in the Spanish Civil War. In general terms Latvia fulfilled the Non-Intervention Pact during the three years of war. Only few episodic diplomatic or commercial dealings took place with both Spanish governments. The Spanish Civil War gained, since its early beginning, the characteristic features of an international conflict.

The reason is that humanitarianism has traditionally been presented as a moral imperative “located out of history” (Taithe 2017a), rather than as a movement whose long-term evolution needs to be understood in political (Arendt [1963] 1990; Boltanski [1993] 1999), economic (Haskell 1985; Roddy, Strange, and Taithe 2018), social (Brodiez and Dumons 2009) and cultural terms (Festa 2010).

  • “For the Liberty of the Nine Boys in Scottsboro and Against Yankee
    Canadian Journal of Latin American and Caribbean Studies, 2013 http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/08263663.2014.940718 “For the liberty of the nine boys in Scottsboro and against Yankee imperialist domination in Latin America”: Cuba’s Scottsboro defense campaign Frances Peace Sullivan* History and Literature, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA, USA (Received 15 January 2013; accepted 3 March 2014) In the spring of 1931, death sentences imposed on nine young African Americans arrested on trumped-up rape charges in Scottsboro, Alabama, ignited a worldwide wave of protest. This article explores Cuba’s Scottsboro defense campaign and argues that Scottsboro protests were a means of criticizing rising anti-black racism on the island from within the narrow confines of permissible racial dialogue in Cuban society. Additionally, it contends that the communist-led defense campaign became a vehicle for a broad range of actors to condemn imperialism and participate in a wider pan-American surge in oppositional politics. Ultimately, popular outrage over the convictions and sentences boosted the communist party’s appeal in Cuba during a time of heightened restiveness on the island and cemented the ideological link between anti-racism and anti-imperialism for future generations of radical activists. Au printemps 1931, on condamna à mort pour viol neuf jeunes Afro-Américains de Scottsboro, Alabama, sur la foi de témoignages falsifiés. L’événement provoqua une vague de soutien à travers le monde entier. Cet article explore la campagne de soutien aux “Scottsboro Boys” menée à Cuba et démontre que les manifestations cubaines ont été, dans le cadre restreint de liberté d’expression touchant aux questions raciales, un moyen de critiquer un racisme anti-noir croissant sur l’île.

Tavares (2013) suggests that social work and Marxism might be considered intrinsically connected and/or diametrically opposed, because both share a concern with the ‘social question’ but social work has often been involved in managing the contradictions of capitalism and thereby sustaining it. This is further complicated by disputes over what 'Marxism' means1. The English-language literature on Marxist social work is mostly limited to the ‘Radical Social Work’ (RSW) tradition, and the experience of socialist countries is neglected. For example Strug (2006) observes the almost total absence in the international social work literature of “information about Cuban social work, the changes it has undergone, or its relevance for the international social work community” (p. 750). Filling the gaps in the literature is a huge task, beyond the scope of this chapter. Instead this chapter outlines some key features of Marxism as it relates to social work, and offers examples of Marxist social work within the varying contexts of capitalist states, popular movements, and socialist states. The chapter is informed by a review of historical and contemporary literature, building on Vickers (2015).

  • The Birth of Children's Rights Between the First and Second World Wars
    MISCELLANEA HISTORICO-IURIDICA TOM XIX, z. 1 ROK 2020 Roldán Jimeno Universidad Pública de Navarra (Public University of Navarre, Spain) e-mail: [email protected] ORCID: 0000-0002-1400-282X DOI: 10.15290/mhi.2020.19.01.06 The birth of children’s rights between the First and Second World Wars: The historical events leading up to the Convention Abstract At the beginning of the twentieth century, the industrialised countries had no guidelines for protecting children. From the time of its creation, the League of Nations has been interested in improving the situation of children and expanding their rights. To accomplish just that, the Child Welfare Committee was created in 1919. The creation of said Committee was the first action taken by the international community in a matter that was not to be left to the sole discretion of the states. That same year, the Englishwoman Eglantyne Jebb and her sister Dorothy founded Save the Children, which evolved very quickly and, in 1920, gave way to the establishment of the International Save the Children Union, headquartered in Geneva. In 1924, the League of Nations approved the Geneva Declaration of the Rights of the Child, drafted by Eglantyne Jebb herself. The first big challenge that said legal doctrine and the partnership in favour of children’s rights came up against was the Spanish Civil War. The first great movement of refugee children featured the children of the Basque Country, who were welcomed in Great Britain. Let us take a look at this case as an example of the practical side of the first legal doctrine on children’s rights.

  • The Role of Women Within the Fifth Column in Madrid During the Spanish Civil War (1936-39)
    THE ROLE OF WOMEN WITHIN THE FIFTH COLUMN IN MADRID DURING THE SPANISH CIVIL WAR (1936-39) DISSERTATION SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN MODERN BRITISH AND EUROPEAN HISTORY ANGELA FLYNN APRIL 2018 CANDIDATE NO: 993346 WORD COUNT: APPROX. 100,000 WORDS EXCLUDING ABSTRACTS, CONTENT AND BIBLIOGRAPHY Abstract 1 The thesis constitutes an original contribution to the gender historiography of the Spanish Civil War (1936-9). It eXamines the vital and invisible role played by anti-Republican women within Madrid’s ‘fifth column’ during the conflict. While a significant amount has been written on Republican women’s roles in the war effort, much less has been written on Nationalist women and in particular those who lived in the Republican held zones. The work explores how and why a sector of Catholic women chose to mobilise against the legally constituted Popular Front government in support of an undemocratic military coup. It re- evaluates the significance of women in the Nationalist war effort. Although anti-Republican women were the resisters of the first hour in the capital, they have been overlooked in the historical record. Between 1936 and 1939 a significant sector of anti-Republican women chose to mobilise against the Republican regime. These women helped to create a subversive and clandestine national Catholic space in the heart of Republican Madrid. They exercised forms of micro-power and influence within the Republican social, political and disciplinary space. The thesis demonstrates how fifth column women were more effective at mobilisation and recruitment than their male counterparts and how a they occupied key liaison and leadership roles within AuXilio Azul, the Clandestine Falange groups and within dozens of autonomous groups.

But despite the slaughter, the terrible oppression of the native masses of the Congo has once more forced them into revolt. The economic crisis in the world of capitalism has greatly intensified the already existing crisis in the Congo. For example, the Union Miniere du Katanga, which exploits seven copper mines, one iron mine, two tin mines and one radium mine, as weil as several quarries, where over 20 thousand miners are employed, has greatly reduced production, with the result that the majority of the While Gandhi is in London betraying the Indian masses, the British police are shooting and beating up the workers in Bombay and other towns workers have been thrown on the streets to starve. No form of social insurance exists in the Congo.
